AS/400 Prompt
AS/400
Parameter
Host Definition
Statement Host Parameter
Local adapter address ADPTADR PATH DIALNO
Host DIALNO parameter is a concatenation of:
SSAP/DSAP/
remote-adapter-address .
AS/400 CRTLINTRN command ADPTADR value must
match the
remote-adapter-address portion of the host
DIALNO parameter. The DSAP portion of the DIALNO
parameter must correspond to the SSAP value
specified on the AS/400 controller description.
PU MACADDR
For 9370/LAN only, the AS/400 line description
ADPTADR must match the host MACADDR parameter.
MACADDR can be coded as an 8- or 12-digit
hexadecimal number; the 8-digit variation assumes
4000
in the first four positions (
4000xxxxxxxx
).
Connection type CNN GROUP DIAL
If the AS/400 line description CNN parameter is
*SWTPP or *SHM, DIAL=YES must be specified for the
host system; if CNN is *MP or *NONSWTPP, DIAL=NO
must be specified.
If CNN(*MP) is specified, the SERVICE
macroinstruction must be used to specify the sequence
in which stations are served.
Exchange identifier EXCHID PU IDBLK, IDNUM
The AS/400 block number (digits 1-3 of the EXCHID) is
always
056
. The remaining 5 digits (based on the
system serial number if *SYSGEN is used) are
specified in the IDNUM parameter.
Line speed LINESPEED LINE SPEED
Line speeds specified for each system must match.
Maximum frame size MAXFRAME PU MAXDATA
Values specified for each system must match.
NRZI data encoding NRZI LINE NRZI
Values specified for each system must match.
Station address STNADR PU ADDR
AS/400 system station address must be unique within
host PU definitions. (Ignored within 9370/LAN
environment.)
